There is a bit of talk going around that this bloke could be on the trade table. Salary cap is bursting at Collingwood and they need to trade out a good talent to keep the likes of DeGoey and Moore.

Found this from Grimesy87 off bigfooty.

Dees having a very good chat to Stephenson's management...
Looks improbable so far, but one whisper is he feels left out at Collingwood
.

 

Three main 'forward' type targets have come up over the last few days.

Gunston

Wingard (I class him more of a half forward than a mid)

Stephenson.

If I had to choose, I'd go with Gunston right now.  I think Stephenson would want good money and the Pies would want something very good in return for him, which I don't think we can match right now.  Gunston to me is the most gettable of the three, and could not only add some class but also some Jordan Lewis like experience to our forward half.

Forget the speculation, what are the odds of such a move?

Stephenson easily. He is a good young player. Things not right between him and the filth.


No thanks: Soft as butter; teams have figured him out; is either dumb or dangerously disobedient off the field (probably both).
 

There’s a reason he can barely get a game in a side that is desperate for forwards.

On talent and age, you're probably right.

But for what we can 'afford', and for what we really need, I still think Gunston would fit us better.

For what it's worth,  I can't see the Pies moving Stephenson on.

 

Talent-wise, he'd be ideal for us.

But you have to question why he keeps getting dropped by a side that hasn't had a great deal going for it in the forward half.


Excited to recruit him so the forum can all pile shizen on him for a 2 kick, 5 handball, 1 tackle performance. 

He's a good player but recruitng small/medium forward is a dangerous burn of resources. Opposition teams quickly work out the type of player to stop them these days. 

Prefer to go really hard at degoey. Absolute [censored] but a dead set gun

Stephenson i watched a bit of in his junior days playing for Ferntree Gully.  Was a real stand out.  At AFL level i think he has done enough to make any team interested.  My guess for him getting dropped is he was waiting for easy balls on the outside.  There is no issue with him going in hard from what i seen in both juniors  to AFL seniors.  He has exceptional pace and some real natural footy smarts, would love him playing for us!

Does he pass any measure of the No DH rule?

He'd have to be an A grader to justify taking on the problems he has

I don't watch a lot of the pies but my sense was that he would get a lot of his goals from using his pace to get clear on the lead and being a reliable set shot.  Rather than someone that gets goals from crumbing and pressure acts?

Is that fair?  If so, I don't think that's what we want - if we can't deliver properly to our current forwards then he's not going to make a big difference.  If we could, I'd go after pace and skill in centre square and wings.

He actually gets a nice mix of lead up marks, but also natural instincts of roving off the pack.  Exceptionally quick off first few steps, you can see from all his highlight packages, he brings others into the game. 

 

[censored] it. he's got speed, other teams will need to worry about him and he can kick barrels. sure. ...but he does seem like a right [censored]

 


Getting Stephenson and Saad would get the tent up it's a yes from me.

It'd be a no from me, unless he came cheap; which he won't.

He's either going completely off the rails or he is one of the dumber people playing AFL football... his ofield decision making is seriously awry.

I'd much prefer we focus on tying Oliver and Petracca to long term deals than potentially sacrifice one of them for De Goey.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
